Chapter 20 "Race" (Seeking Recommendation Votes)
Sitting in the front row of the black off-road vehicle, the young man in an old padded jacket turned his head and said eagerly:
"Boss, are you going to catch up now?"
The middle-aged man with a fierce temperament and an old scar on the corner of his right eye smiled and shook his head:
"Don't worry, with their firepower and experience, they should be able to last for a while, and the size of the Kuronuma Iron Snake is there, and the straight-line speed is definitely not comparable to that of a jeep.
"If we arrive too early, we may be attacked from both sides at the same time, which will be too dangerous.
"Besides, we have to take this opportunity to make some preparations, Jishun, stop!"
"Yes, boss." The driver was an older man wrapped in animal fur.
The black off-road vehicle immediately stopped, a fierce temperament, and a middle-aged man carrying a "Heavy Rain" submachine gun pushed the door and got out of the car, walking to the trunk.
He then took off his crumpled black tweed coat and handed it along with his weapon to his companion on the heavy motorcycle on the left.
After doing this, the middle-aged man lifted the lid of the trunk, bent over, stretched out his hands, and held something.
His face turned red, his forehead was bruised, and his knees were bent even harder, as if he had used a lot of strength.
He stepped back step by step and presented a tattered square wooden box, which was enough to fit one person's square wooden box.
With a bang, the wooden box was placed on the ground.
As it was opened, the contents were revealed.
It was an iron-black object that looked like armor but had many metal skeletons.
"Ayu, Jishun, help me." The middle-aged man turned his head and said to the young man in the old padded jacket and the middle-aged man who was in charge of driving before.
Ayu and Ji Shun leaned over, and one person lifted the thing in the square wooden box without much difficulty.
With the pull of gravity, the item quickly unfolded, revealing its complete appearance:
Its appearance is very close to that of a humanoid, with a metal helmet with crystal goggles, and under the helmet are several pieces connected together, protecting the armor of important pipes and lines.
Under this armor is an iron-black, unusually strong, large backpack, and around this energy backpack, various metal bones similar to the cervical spine, thoracic spine, radius, humerus, ulna, navicular bone, femur, patella, tibia, and fibula extend downwards, all of which also have joints and have metal buckles and dense sensors.
Among them, the thoracic spine is connected to pieces of thick armor, and a grenade launcher and an electromagnetic weapon are embedded in both arms.
This is a military exoskeleton device, the production capacity has been insufficient, even in the big forces, only the elite of the elite can be equipped, it is a real killer.
It can not only reflect human movements smoothly through a complex and sophisticated sensing system, allowing the wearer to far exceed human limits in terms of strength, speed, and balance ability, but also loaded with thermal weapon systems, precise aiming systems, auxiliary combat systems, comprehensive warning systems, anti-virus filtration systems and bulletproof armor in important parts.
Also, just as the invention of thermal weapons reduced the physical requirements of human strength in combat, exoskeleton devices can greatly reduce the wear and tear of the wearer, allowing them to continue fighting.
With this equipment on, it's definitely not a dream to fight alone against a team with only light weapons.
——Relying on human speed and a comprehensive early warning system, the wearer's parts that are not protected by bulletproof armor are not so easy to hit.
The middle-aged man walked over, and with the help of Ayu and Ji Shun, he put on this military exoskeleton device and fastened the metal buckles of various parts one by one.
Finally, he adjusted the crystal goggles on the metal helmet to activate the equipment.
When the integrated system self-test passed, the middle-aged man laughed:
"The battery is only 30% left, and it can last for more than two hours...... That's enough."
As he spoke, his hands covered with iron-black auxiliary bones easily retrieved his own "Rainstorm" submachine gun, as if it were just a toy without any weight.
…………
"What should I do?" Hearing the term "Black Marsh Iron Snake", Long Yuehong almost suffocated.
In this case, he had no experience in this matter and could only seek answers from Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen.
——He clearly saw just now that Shang Jianyao's assault rifle long burst shot failed to cause any damage to the giant python, only causing some damage to the outer scales.
Combined with the knowledge he had learned before, he suspected that the large-caliber pistol "Union 202" and Bai Chen's "Orange" rifle, which can be used as a sniper rifle, could also not penetrate the thick multi-layered scales of the Black Marsh Iron Snake, unless it could hit the unprotected critical location.
As for whether the grenade gun is effective, Long Yuehong can't be sure, but he thinks it shouldn't, after all, the main lethality of grenades lies in the explosions and debris they produce, not armor breaking.
Jiang Baimian glanced through the rearview mirror:
"Let's race first.
"This guy is not good at this kind of thing, and it will be tired, Jeep won't, as long as the high-performance battery, engine, and tires can hold on, it will not be a problem to run until tomorrow morning."
When Jiang Baimian spoke, Bai Chen did not slow down the car too much, but lifted the limit state to prevent various parts of the jeep from failing.
Obviously, she also agrees with the "race" with the black swamp iron snake and does not want to fight hard.
The jeep is driving at high speed, and from time to time it hits stones and stumps, and a bump gives people the feeling of flying quickly.
If Bai Chen hadn't had very good skills and had some experience in wilderness drag racing, he would always be able to react in time and respond correctly, the jeep might have tipped over to the ground long ago, rolled several times in a row, and couldn't move again.
The huge black swamp iron snake seemed to be enraged, and with the help of sparse trees and thickets of weeds, it chased Shang Jianyao and the others from the sky and sometimes on the surface, refusing to give up.
Its speed is definitely not as fast as the "full fire" jeep, but due to terrain problems, Bai Chen can't keep the jeep at high speed all the time, and must reduce the speed from time to time to avoid obstacles or quagmires.
During this process, the black swamp iron snake opened its mouth wide twice, spraying venom and spitting poisonous mist, but both failed to affect the gray-green jeep due to distance problems.
After two times, the huge python seemed to have learned to be smart, and no longer tried to attack from a distance, and chased after it desperately.
Just a few minutes later, Bai Chen suddenly stepped on the brakes and pulled the steering wheel.
In the squeak, the gray-green jeep stopped horizontally.
Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao were not thrown out because they had consciously fastened their seat belts during the high-speed driving just now, but when they felt strong inertia, they were pulled.
Before they came back to their senses, Bai Chen had already said in a deep voice:
"The terrain ahead has changed!"
Jiang Baimian also discovered this problem:
The front was dark, with no marginal quagmire, deformed trees growing sparsely, and there was no harder road for vehicles to pass in the middle.
It was like the Everglades expanded at some point, swallowing the route that originally existed.
And whether you look to the left or the right, you can't find the boundary at present, I don't know how long it will take to drive around, and I don't know if this place will be surrounded by the Everglades, and only by retreating the same way can I get out of trouble.
Just when Bai Chen was thinking about whether to propose to continue the "race" and add the project of "going around in circles", Jiang Baimian was already shouting loudly:
"Shang Jianyao, get me a metal rod from the trunk.
"Bai Chen, you use the jeep cover as a support point and be ready to snipe the eyes of the black swamp iron snake."
No one questioned it, in this lightning time, everyone chose to trust the team leader and obey her orders.
Shang Jianyao immediately unfastened his seat belt, leaned back, grabbed a metal rod, and handed it to Jiang Baimian, who had already opened the door and got out of the car.
- They had seen this thing before and were always a little puzzled why the team leader didn't bring a tent, but brought such a strange thing.
Bai Chen carried the "orange" rifle, came to the cover of the horizontal jeep, put the weapon on it, and brought his eyes to the scope.
After Jiang Baimian took the metal rod with his left hand, he moved his body in place.
The giant python covered with layers of black scales swam away quickly, getting closer and closer.
The wind around me seemed to be stained with a fishy smell.
Seeing that this terrifying black swamp iron snake was about to enter the range where it could spew poisonous mist, Jiang Baimian held the metal rod in his left hand and ran forward two steps suddenly.
Her body suddenly stopped, and she threw the metal rod at the Black Marsh Iron Snake.
At the same time, a bright, dazzling, thick arc appeared between her left palm and the metal rod!
The arc grew longer and longer, wrapped around the metal rod, and made a sizzling sound.
In an instant, the metal rod turned into a silver-white thick electric light, cutting through the sky and falling on the body of the black swamp iron snake, like a punishment from heaven.
The black swamp iron snake sensed danger, but such an attack was not deadly, so it just folded its body and avoided its head.
Pawn!
The metal rod wrapped around countless silver-white arcs hit the long and thick torso of the Black Marsh Iron Snake.
There was no doubt that with Jiang Baimian's power, it was impossible for this metal rod to pierce the target's thick multi-layered scales, but the terrifying arc group it attached burst out!
In Zi's voice, the silver-white light illuminated the surrounding gray and black soil, and countless currents instantly spread to every corner of the black swamp iron snake's body at a speed that could not be stopped at all.
The huge, strange python suddenly stiffened and was paralyzed in place.
Although he didn't know that this change would happen, Bai Chen, who had already been prepared, did not hesitate, slightly adjusted the muzzle of the lower gun to the back, and resolutely pulled the trigger of the "Orange" rifle.
Bang!
A yellow bullet shot out and went straight to the cold, dark yellow left eye of the Black Marsh Iron Snake.
The Black Marsh Iron Snake sensed in advance that a fatal danger was coming, but in a state of electric shock, it could only watch and could not try to avoid it.
With a pop, the bullet sank into its cold eyes with vertical pupils, entered its brain, and rolled wantonly.
The lightning quickly subsided, and an indescribable non-snake-like cry came out of the huge mouth of the black swamp iron snake.
Its body collapsed suddenly, rolling frantically in place, knocking down several trees with a bang.
It didn't take long for the huge python to stop moving and lose all movement.
Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong who looked dazed, and rubbed his left arm with his right hand with a smile:
"Electric eel-type biological prosthetics, you deserve it."
…………
Not far from Shang Jianyao and the others, the middle-aged man wearing a military exoskeleton device and his companions heard gunshots and chirps, and sensed the slight shaking of the earth and the movement of fallen trees.
The middle-aged man said with a happy face:
"They have reached the most intense and tragic stage.
"It's now, rush!"
